<html>
<body>
<h4>Two rows and three columns:</h4>
<table border="1" width="100%" height="400" align="top">
<tr style="height: 1">
  <td>
   <table width="100%" border="2" height ="100" align="top">
     <tr>
       <td>1-1</td>
       <td>1-2</td> 
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td>1-3</td>
       <td>1-4</td>
     </tr>
   </table>
 </td> 
  <td>
   <table width="100%" border="2" height ="100" align="top">
     <tr>
       <td>2-1</td>
       <td>2-2</td>

Solution

  • Insert a colgroup element in your table:

    <table>
      <colgroup>
        <col style="width: 33%" />
        <col style="width: 33%" />
        <col style="width: 33%" />
      </colgroup>
      <tr>
    ...
      </tr>
    </table>
